THE DANBURxs WANT MONEY.

The Directors Talking Of Suing the
 Rondsmen of the New Haven Ball
 Park Associat1On-The Creditors to
 Hold q Meeting This Week-Other
 Ease Ball Notes.
 The directors of the Danbury base ball team are talking of suing the bondsmen of the New Haven Ball Park association for the $250 which the New Ravens were supposed to have put up as 8 guarantee that they would play the season out, but which they failed to do.
 The creditors of the New Haven Ball Park association are to hold 8 meeting some time this week. They have become tired of wait ing for the money which is due them When the team was disbanded the creditors were told that as soon as the summer vacation was over the stockholders would hold a meeting and settle the debts of the association. They have not done as they agreed to. Now the creditors are going to engage first-class law yer and see if the stockholders cannot be compelled to pay up, insomuch as the asso citation was chartered in accordance with the State legislature.
 Meister, the released second baseman oi the Nets, is playing ball in asemi-profession ! al team in Pennsylvania. MdDdR6T w 6JkluS OI ln0 DolTOlb lOdLA Is one of the happiest men in the country. Hif team has practically won the National league pennant. He certainly deserves his happi ness. The Detroits have done their fine work this season by their batting. The New Works and Brooklyns play ar exhibition game at Newburgh, N. Y., or Thursday. Manager Byrne has invited the base bali reporters of both cities to go along Getzein, the crack pitcher of the Detroits, has been presented with $500 gold watch by his friends.
 Betting has already begun in St. Louis on the result of the worlds championship series with Detroit. Of course the Browns are fav' orites.
 The Sporting Times on Sunday appeared in new dress.
 Manager Thomas, of Hoyt's Tin Soldier company, has made bet of $400 that the Detroits win the worlds championship.
 Manager Daniels, formerly of the Hart lords, now an umpire in the National league. carries the showiest uniform of any umpire. It consists in nothing but red cap. When he first appeared before Detroit audience some days ago they were fearful that he was some substitute and that his decisions would be in keeping with his personal appearance which was anything but prepossessing. Bui they were most agreeably surprised, for Dan iels gave some of the best umpiring ever done in Detroit.

Awarntng to Unruly Boys.

An instance which happened on Bishop street a few nights ago, and which might have proved to be serious affair, should serve as a lesson to mischievous boys. A young iady residing on Bishop street was go. ing home when some hilarious youth jumped out at her from behind tree. The young lady was so badly frightened that she became almost hysterical. Her screams aroused the neighborhood. She was taken into Sheriff Spiegel's house near by, and cared for until she had recovered from the fright sufficiently to be moved to her home.

The statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, which stands on Bedloe's Island, in the harbor of New ork, is one of the most sublime artistic conceptions of modern times. The torch of the goddess lights the nations of the earth to peace, prosperity and progress through liberty. But ''liberty" is an empty word to the thousands of poor wo- men enslaved by physical ailments hun- dredfold more tyrannical than any Nero. To such sufferers Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription holds forth the promise of 8 speedy cure.

Judge Deming yesterday morning heard the arguments on a motion to strike out DOT tions of a pleading which involve quite i'm portant legal points. Attorney Arthur B. Wright, administrator on the estate of the late Colonel D. R. Wright, brought suit be- fore Justice James I. Hayes against Solomon Rosenbluth to recover $50 on a due bill. Justice Hayes found for the defendant, and Attorney Wright appealed to the Court of Common Pleas and there, it is claimed by the defendant, added new count to the complaint, claiming money due for profes- sional services also. Attorney Arvine, for Rosenbluth, asked Judge Deming to strike out this count yesterday morning on the ground that it was joining altogether a new action in the same complaint, which could not be done. Attorney Wright controvert- ed this idea and Judge Deming reserved his decision,
